Keith twisted the man’s arm with deliberate force, drawing a pained howl from him.

Serena blinked, caught off guard. Her eyes landed on the newcomer.

‘Keith? What is he doing here?‘ she wondered.

“M–Mr. Brannon?” the man stammered, his bravado vanishing. His face drained of color.

Keith shot him a glance, then turned toward Serena. “You alright?” he asked, voice even.

Serena gave a small nod. “I’m fine,” she said quietly. “Thank you.”

The man quickly bowed, his tone servile. “I… I’m sorry, Mr. Brannon. I didn’t know they were with you. It was a mistake. It won’t happen again.”

Keith didn’t respond. Instead, he twisted the man’s arm behind his back and shoved him forward, sending him stumbling to a halt in front of Serena.

Serena gently touched Kristy’s arm, shaking her head. “He’s not worth it.”

Kristy exhaled sharply, then relented with a shrug.

Keith, sensing it was enough, turned to the man. “Leave.”

The man didn’t wait for a second warning. He fled the bar in a stumbling rush, drawing murmurs from those nearby.

“Serves him right.”

“About time someone put him in his place.”

“Maybe he’ll think twice next time.”

Keith turned back to Serena, eyes scanning her quickly and carefully for any sign of harm. Only when he was sure she was unharmed did his posture

Serena stepped forward, offering a faint smile. What a surprise, Mr. Brannon. And… thank you, for stepping in

“It was nothing, Seri,” he said quietly. “No need for thanks.”

She was about to reply when she glanced at his side, her expression tightening. “You hit him just now. Did your injury reopen?”
